Pure or beautiful
Kalayna is a modern American coinage, likely a creative blend of the name Kaylan or Kalina with the popular 'ayna' suffix. It is often associated with the Greek 'katharos' meaning pure, or the Slavic 'kalina' referring to the viburnum tree. Its rare usage gives it a distinctive, contemporary feel for parents seeking a unique sound.
